Paddleboarding on a lake with the kids. A little locally brewed beer, music from the SoundCore boost, some battery to keep the phone going, and plenty of sunshine for the PowerPort Solar. Judging from the weather forecast, I'll probably have way more power than I need.

Let's hope I don't test the limits of the Boost's IPX5 water resistance rating in the lake this weekend! Ill let you know how it went if I do

Well, thanks to a freak hailstorm on an otherwise sunny day (90 degrees and sunshine), I got to test out both the Boost and the PowerPort Solar for water exposure. While the Boost was well within it's IPX5 rating, the PowerPort has no official rating for water resistance. I'm happy to say it survived a pretty good dousing and is still completely functional. It was actually still charging when I got it out of the storm

I'd say it was exposed to heavy rain and intermittent pea-size hail for about 15 minutes:
